Elections: petitions; petition circulator to read the summary of the purpose of the petition to the petition signer; provide for. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 482g.

This bill requires petition circulators in Michigan to either show voters where the summary of a proposed measure is located or read that summary aloud before collecting a signature. The law directly affects individuals gathering signatures for ballot initiatives and the sponsors of those petitions. If a circulator fails to follow this rule, the petition sponsor faces a civil penalty of up to $1,500 or $50 for each violation, whichever amount is higher. This change aims to ensure voters are informed about the purpose of a measure before they sign a petition.
